PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR UPGRADE

Note the following, when installing or replacing devices, to improve the performance of NEC
Express5800/320Fc series.
With the NEC Express5800/320Fc series, devices can be replaced during the continuous
operation. Take extreme care for electric shock and damage to the component due to short-circuit.
Optional devices cannot be installed or removed during continuous operation. Normally,
shutdown Windows Server 2003, check that the server is powered off, disconnect all power cords
and interface cables from the server before installing or removing the optional devices.
To remove the CPU/IO module during the continuous operation, disable the intended module
(place the module off-line) by using the ftServer Utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager from the
management console. After a new module is installed to the server, enable the module using the
ftServer Utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
TIPS:
The system will automatically boot (factory default) the module, once installed. For more
information, see Chapter 5.
Make sure to provide the same hardware configuration on both CPU/IO modules (except SCSI
board).
Use the same slots and sockets on both groups.
Do not install those devices having different specifications, performance, or features.
Before removing the set screws from the CPU/IO modules, place the desired module off-line
using the ftServer Utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
